The document discusses soil priorities and available soil information for Indonesia at the national and regional levels. At the national level, key priorities include peat soil distribution, erosion, and degradation from mining. Soil maps at scales of 1:1,000,000, 1:1,250,000, and 1:50,000 are available digitally, along with reports and derivative maps. Regionally, priorities include peat soils, nutrients, and erosion, while maps at 1:1,000,000 and 1:1,250,000 scales and reports in local languages are available. The document provides an overview of soil data and issues for Indonesia to inform an atlas.

1. Soil priorities at the national level:
Surface areas affected by the identified soil threats and actions taken
to address them.
Thickness of peat soils and their distribution
Peat moisture regime
Serious degradation of ecosystem (loss diversity, degraded soils, lot of
ponds and exposed of pyrite resulted extreme low soil pH in post
mining areas
Soil erosions, especially sloping areas. Conservation associated with
the easy acceptance and application by farmers
Experience as editor:
Soil priorities at the regional level:
Thickness of peat soils and their distribution
Soil nutrient status
soil erosion associated with sloping areas
Soil salinity and acid sulfate soils
 Thickness of peat soils and their distribution (Malaysia, Brunai,
Papua New Guinea)
 Soil nutrient status (Asian countries with high annual rainfall)
 Sloping areas (Asian countries with high annual rainfall)
 Soil erosion. Soil conservation practices conventional and modern
agricultural practices
 Soil salinity and acid sulfate soils (Asian countries having coastal
areas
Surface area affected by the identified priorities and countries they
interest the most.
Soil Information that can be made available for the Atlas at
the national level.
Soil map at 1:1.000.000 scale produced by 2000 by compiling the
existing soil maps (1962-2000) and used for general overview of
Indonesian soil distribution (available in digital form)
Soil map at 1:1.250.000 scale produced mostly by 2010 (1980-2015)
with updating and revision and available in digital forms for all
Indonesian areas
Soil map at 1:1.50.000 produced mostly by 2016-2017 (1980-2017)
some areas are still in progress (about 25% = 129 districts) of
Indonesian areas, with updating and revision and available in digital
forms
Soils in all maps were classified according to Soil Survey Staff (various
editions, 1998-2014). Classifications at the Order category for
exploratory scale, at great group for 1:250.000 and at subgroup for
1:50.000 scale
Soil survey reports in Indonesian language
Derivative soil maps such as land evaluation maps for agricultural
crops and management recommendation
Thickness of peat soils and their distribution
Soil nutrient status (low organic C)
Various mining land/soils
Soil physical, chemical and biological degradation
Soil erosion
Soil Information that can be made available for the Atlas at
the regional level.
Soil map at 1:1.000.000 scale produced by 2000 by compilation of
existing soil maps (1962-2000) and available in digital form
Soil map at 1:1.250.000 produced mostly by 2010 (1980-2015) results
of soil map updating and available in digital forms for all Indonesian
areas (need correlation and verification of mapping units)
Soil survey reports need translation into International languages
